In the "Olde" days, using my SLR Film camera I was able to expose the same frame more than once. Using that method I was able to create some very interesting shots.

I now have a Sony A33 (a DSLR of course), and cannot figure out how to double expose a photo.

Any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks,

Check the manual; it's either built into the camera or it can't be done.

Read your manual. Nikon can.

Well Tom, looks like you will have to either read your manual or wait until a Sony guy comes along. Maybe try to Google it? ;)

Save yourself a lot of trouble and do it in PP. Just take the two shots they way you would have in film days. My Nikons have a setting to do doubles or even tripels but they have a time limit. I did 100's of doubles doing weddings in film days and for me PP does a better job than in the camera. - Dave

Here is a thread on the same topic from Nov 20. Hopefully the responses will be a bit more "helpful" :)

It appears that the A33 won't do in-camera double exposures.

You have to do it the old fashioned way.

Do it with Photoshop. I use Elements 11 but I think all of the Photoshop programs will work.

[quote=Tom G] Tom, If you take two pictures just copy parts of picture one and paste it to picture 2. Use photoshop elements. When you do this the new photo is a PSD (photo shop document} when you save a copy, save as jpg. Real easy. David

Call me dumb, but what is PP? Either can't remember or never knew.

PP= Postprocessing, Tom. More specifically the program you load your photos into on your computer such as Lightroom, Elements, iPhoto, Aperature, etc. Lightroom does a great job allowing you to adjust white balance especially if you shoot RAW. ;)

Not dumb at all. It's what most folks call photoshop. - Dave
